A former Dardanelle High School student charged with terroristic threatening and criminal possession of an explosive device entered a plea of not guilty before receiving a $200,000 bond Thursday.

Julian Calfy, 16, was assigned public defender Michael Allison by Circuit Judge Jerry Don Ramey. The juvenile is currently scheduled to be tried as an adult, with a pre-trial date on July 12 and will appear for a jury trial on July 26.

Calfy was removed from school by police in December due to a probation violation and for having a knife on his person, according to a February interview with Dardanelle High School Principal Marcia Lawrence.

According to an affidavit for the warrant of Calfy’s arrest, the Dardanelle Police Department (DPD) received information on Dec. 6, 2011, that a student had posted on his Facebook page threats “that he intended to commit serious physical harm to the student body of the high school.” Investigators found several excerpts on the page indicating Calfy’s intended violence at the school, including one where he compared himself to Eric Harris, one of the two shooters in the 1999 shooting at Columbine High School where 15 students and teachers were killed, including the two shooters.

According to Dardanelle Police Chief Montie Sim’s testimony in the affidavit, Calfy admitted to the posts during an interview Dec. 8 and said he had anger issues and is racist, according to the case file. That same day, a white three-ring notebook was found in his possession where police found notes demonstrating his anger and racism, along with a printed dialogue of the steps the shooters responsible for the Columbine massacre took. A diagram believed to be that of Dardanelle High School was also found with markings of entrance and exit doors, hallways, security gates and a list of items needed to secure the doors, such as chains, locks, pipes, cannon fuses and propane bottles.

“He (Calfy) writes that this massacre will be [expletive] Biblical,” Sims states. “’If they thought Columbine was bad then they won’t know what to think about Dardanelle.’”

During a search of Calfy’s residence in Conway County, investigators found a box with metal balls, black powder, nails, and a metal pipe — items that explosive experts said could be used for making bombs or Molotov cocktails, Sims stated. Written across the top of the box was “WRA,” which stands for “White Resistance Alliance,” Sims stated.

The Dardanelle School Board voted to expel Calfy on Dec. 19 after the investigation led officials to believe he was a serious threat to the school and its teachers and students.

If convicted of possessing an explosive device — a class B felony — the teen could face five to 20 years in prison. He could face up to six years if convicted of terroristic threatening, a class D felony.

Calfy is currently being held at the Mansfield Juvenile Treatment Center in Mansfield.

He had it coming. People like him should change because the Dardanelle Middle School know better than that and to all those people who did stuff like Julian Calfy did you need to change and learn from his mistakes.
